There's an NBA multi-bet being offered for today, and they all picked the favorites Cavs, Pacers, and Knicks boosted from 3.7 to 4.2, so the chances of this one landing are a bit decent.

It's tempting to slam this special because all three favorites should win, but anything can happen, and it always gets dicey with these elimination games.
 


@slaman29 Nice parlay, I also took Barca yesterday, and out of nowhere that match got so sweaty when Valencia got two goals with very low ball possession.

Yeah I won that one, it was quite a gamble though especially after the 1st map. I did make a similar bet on the previous tournament with XG making reverse sweep against Falcons to win the whole tournament. The odds was incredibly generous as well, I didnt expect betting -2.5 after they won the 1st map would be 2.8 though. I guess with ESL has been concluded, Im going to spend my time on cs2 for now instead atleast until next major tournament next month lol  Smiley
That upset from XG reminded me to avoid taking the map spread, so I only went with the match winner @1.5, which isn't bad.  Tongue Still, i'm glad for Team Falcons' completing the lower bracket since they mostly saved my bankroll after a disastrous betting in the groups.

With the ESL Pro League currently ongoing I might dabble into some CS2 bets too, and maybe include League (MSI starts in a few days) while waiting for the PGL tournament in a couple of weeks.

In my case, I view it as a bonus instead of a necessity that could discourage me from using their casinos. I still appreciate reading those blog posts whenever they provide enough visibility because they could act as a guide based on what you're looking for and most of the ones i've read only take a few minutes of your time.

Other casinos might even include promotions through their blog page to encourage users to check them out frequently.

My favorite slot game in a losing session is Tome of Madness and most Play'n Go games. I'd always see my bankroll slowly burn, and despite losing most of my deposits on their games, half of the time it only feels like you're losing half of your stake in every spin.

I think everyone will agree with me that we are playing our favorite worst slot because of the entertainment it provides not sole with the payout that’s why we keep coming back for more loss.
It depends on your expectations because the entertaining parts mostly come with hitting specific payouts.

Congrats with your bet, as Wolves completed the sweep ANT provides them 40points showing his idol that he's now a grown up man who can deliver important basket, that slam dunk which give them extra edge really the highlghts of the game, managing to escape the defense of Beal and dunk it in front of KD that's really something that will hype his name up.
Thanks, and he clutched it up with the threes in the last quarter after the Suns were about to pull away with their lead from the third quarter.


The only spread i'm liking so far is the first-half spread from the Celtics, they led by 20+ points last game, and i'd imagine the only way Miami keeps it close is if they can replicate the number of threes they made during game two.



I'm also tempted to slam the Nuggets, but it's probably best to catch better odds through live betting because, in all four games, the Lakers take control of the first half (leading by 5+ points).

5 straight wins coming from the lower bracket this day, from Tundra's 2-0 to BetBoom's 3-0. Team Falcons is something to be honest.

So, with this, Team Falcons has once again won another title from this tier 1 tournament.
Also, this is their second tournament win in the ESL Pro Tour, and BetBoom is cursed with another second-place finish.

Watching Falcons winning game after game , tournament after tournament , it's like watching 2023 Gaiming Gladiators all over again and Dota 2 community doesn't need this again so please Valve , bring a huge patch and mix it in the way that no team can dominate for quite a period because it's way more spectacular for fans to enjoy random winners instead of knowing before tournament begins who will play the finals...
I doubt the next major patch is enough to bring this team down, but they can still lose to other teams every other while. We had the Elite League previously where Team Falcons lost to Xtreme Gaming in the grand finals, it's unfortunate that Xtreme couldn't carry over their strong performance in ESL One and suddenly went on a slump.

SAW aren't a team that we can't beat normally. I still remember the way we completely destroyed FaZe in the last Major. Now we are playing like we lost our way. I hope we can make it to IEM Cologne in some way. There is a huge prize pool of 1 million dollars.

By the way Astralis started to look like a much better team. device's return and the increase in team chemistry made a positive impact it looks like. They are playing big for the ESL Pro League championship which can take them to IEM Cologne.
Some teams are just that volatile, and Faze probably broke them after that loss since they're one map win away from qualifying.

Astralis showed some improvements, and before this, they brought in some good results from IEM Chengdu making it in the semis and only got eliminated because of Faze Clan. I doubt they can win it all here in the ESL Pro League, the other groups still have some of the greatest teams like Vitality, Navi, and Mouz.

Nah if there is any team that would stand a chance to win against Falcons then that team would be Tundra though. They won once and I was expecting them to win another one against Falcons.
I thought it'd be BetBoom because of their flawless playoff run from the upper bracket, but Team Falcons only got better as they advanced from one series to another.

It looks like i'm the only one hoping for the Timberwolves to sweep since I have them to win (@1.96). I'm not confident about the Suns having the same urgency as the Lakers to win a game, and I think the odds on the Timberwolves are still too good given they haven't kept the margins close. It'd be nice if the Suns could prove me wrong by extending the series to a game five, but i'll always take the Timberwolves knowing the Suns rarely clutch it up whenever they're the favorites.

229  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you cashout or wait for the game to conclude? on: April 29, 2024, 01:12:59 AM
My answer is the same as the other thread that mentioned a similar scenario. Always ride your bets until the end of the matches, and the only time you should cash out is when you start questioning yourself about the current payout you could miss out on.

I have one question for anyone reading this: which regret will be worse, if the gambler lost ₦24,263,910 had he or she cashed out ₦12,45,836 and the game finally became successful, and when he doesn't cashed out but the game was busted and he lost all the money, including the amount he staked? Which would have been more painful?

If the game fails to go as planned, he will regret not cashing out the ₦12+M, and if he has cashed out and the game becomes successful, he will still blame himself for not being patient, but at least he will be grateful for the one he has.
From my experience, losing out on the 12m payout is the worst regardless of what happens in the last two legs. You might as well secure something out of the parlay before it falls off because the last legs of a parlay are the ones that tend to disappoint.

Nadal pulling off that win against De Minaur killed my only chance to advance. Congrats on advancing to the next cup round execijutiere.

This is the second time i'm facing vivekdkhyani's team, last season wasn't even close (6-2). I'll do my best to secure the win this time and keep the momentum going.  Wink

Weekly Update(link)

Removed Bitwinup and Stake from the table.
Moved Airbet and HugeWin from PNYC to CFNP.
Moved BlackJack.Fun from CNFP to OFNP.
Moved Bons from OFNP to CFNP.

Bitvest and Eloncoin are still on pause, i'll probably add them back in the next update.

The odds for Liquid to win was less than 1.5 iirc so there is really no reason to put up two games under 1.5 in one ticket so I kinda bumped it up by selecting -1.5 which backfire lol. I should really stick only with XG I guess
I had the same multi with Team Liquid to win because every series ended 2-1, but it didn't matter when XG ruined it after falling short against G2.IG. I have to say G2.IG formed some solid drafts throughout the series while XG made me believe after their miraculous comeback in map one.



Even though I like G2.IG and BetBoom tomorrow to advance, i'll probably switch with the overs.

Thanks for the update, it looks like i'll face execijutierre in the first round after beating fM from the qualifiers.  Grin

It'll be an interesting matchup with a higher chance to go through the penalties as we have four different predictions.
234  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: April 26, 2024, 01:07:32 AM
Speaking of MC, what actually happened between him and the team though? it feels weird to suspend him indefinitely, I mean why dont they let him find another team. I mean yeah shit probably happened but this is the first time I've seen notes like this though
Maybe there's a part of his contract where he has to stay in the org for a specific amount of time and probably loaning him to another team is his only option similar to what Nigma Galaxy did with Sumail and ATF.

Anyway, Team Liquid should probably win tomorrow against Heroic. I mean there is no reason for them to lose on the first game of the lower bracket and as for the other game, I guess XG should be a good choice considering that they are way better compared to G2.IG
I'm leaning on Team Liquid as well, Heroic did great but K1's performance felt off for some reason, I think they could've done better throughout the group stage if K1 was proactive.

XG all day over G2.IG now that they're looking better, i'm not sure what's wrong with G2.IG they're always lacking in bringing in good results.

I forgot to share this Man City special earlier today and hammered this one with the little balance that I had. Tongue That win felt so good, Man City making it sweat-free after scoring three goals in the first half.

I'm ready to take on the EPL multi-bet special, hopefully, they'll pick the home favorites.

236  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the least risky gambling game at online casinos? on: April 25, 2024, 11:27:43 PM
I'd also suggest blackjack for non-slot casino games specifically the live tables, where you sit with other users and play the same rounds. The third-party providers (like Evolution) usually offer different blackjack variations(lightning, power, free bet, etc.) and you can try those once you get bored with the standard blackjack.

In sports betting, I recommend picking a good sportsbook that allows you to bet as small as a cent. That way you start practicing the basics, and understand how each market works with little to no risk.

The first playoff match just ended for the ESL One Birmingham tournament and after they tried to run it back with almost the same lineup from map 2 I didn't expect Tundra Esports to deny the reverse sweep against Team Falcons. They're not as favored as before, but still, i'm impressed to see Tundra finally gain some success after replacing MC.

We are moving on in lower bracket now. We managed to beat Imperial by 2-1 first. The performances were satisfying this time especially on Anubis.  Smiley  Today we are going to face fnatic.

I hope to see another win.  Roll Eyes  But if we face FaZe in the lower final then our job will be very difficult. I would just hope to play as good as we played against them during the last Major.
We'll have to see if they can get the job done because despite the favored odds it still feels like a toss-up. If they lose against Faze in the lower final, they still have one more chance in the last chance group.

Thank you ralle14 Wink
Crooked2 team is useless sometimes  Grin
Welcome mate.  Wink

Come on Everton! Finally I decided to go with an underdog and I got it right. I had enough wrong answers by going with a favorite so I tried the other way around. I just hope Liverpool won't score three goals in these last 15 minutes.
It appears you got what you need with Everton winning 2-0 against Liverpool.  Wink


Despite taking the lead through Atalanta's Coppa Italia win, I still need the three QBs and the Orlando Magic to win tomorrow to secure my ticket for the first round.

I'm a bit worried about tomorrow's game three since one of the best players from the Magic got injured.

I lost yesterday's bet, but i'm glad that Stake had one of those unusual promos where they'll overturn your losing bet if your team hits two threes.

I'm switching it up with the under again, as I still think the total they've set for this game is a bit high after their first game ended up with 186 points. Also, i've avoided the spread because I can't get a read on who'll cover for today.

GG and Team Spirit were eliminated on the group stage. You know that this is a rare sight because both GG and Team Spirit were pretty dominant for the past 2 years, I guess this is what we called as the end of an era huh. Its about time that these two teams gets another player to freshen up their strategy otherwise these two might not even make it to TI
Their group became more competitive than expected, Team Spirit's 5-5 record would've been more than enough to secure the lower bracket if it weren't for the other top teams crumbling on the last day.

GG is unlucky they had to play the better side of XG on the second day after they were already down in the same position.

We'll have to wait and see if their management plans to change anything soon because these two already had a good result in one of the previous ESL tournaments. GG got second place in ESL KL while TS got first in DreamLeague S21.
